The only real learning is to awaken the knowledge that lies dormant in our being.
The primal learning inherent in the human being is essentially the same in everyone, its validity is complete. Ancestral learning is the only suitable foundation; that which is based on it is incorruptible, and that which is based on a concept is meant to rot.
The ancestral study is infinitely simple, so simple that it cannot be put into words. It is agreed with all that is necessary, calm, and solid; it is opposed to all that is seductive, exciting, and teeming.
Ten armies, a hundred coffers, and a thousand deeds are destroyed; what the possessors of the primal study create without any help is preserved.
He who has conquered for himself the guardian study inherent in his being has attained all that is humanly attainable; life and death can only superficially wound him, he is essentially inviolable and complete.
